What's the news?
On 24th January 2024, Tesla announced its fourth quarter results, covering the period ended 31st December 2023. The key highlight of the results is that the total number of vehicles delivered in the year increased by 38% to 1,808,581 (from $ccc). No information on the average selling price of the vehicles has been provided in the announcement.


Assuming that the average selling price of the vehicles is unchanged from the last reported price ($ccc on ccc), then the estimated revenue generated in the year is $ccc. The figure compares to the Stockhub consensus forecast of $ccc, a difference of $ccc in absolute terms and ccc% in relative terms. To reflect the difference, we adjust our company revenue standard deviation assumption by ccc years to ccc years (from ccc years). All other assumptions are unchanged. The adjustment results in a ccc% change to the target price, increasing the price to $ccc (from $ccc).


How does the news impact the valuation of the company?
Accordingly, based on the assumptions provided on the Stockhub platform, the investment remains a 'suitable' one for you if, among other criteria, your required:


* Return level is 39% per year or less in absolute terms;
* Risk level is 42% or more above the market risk level;
* Time horizon is five years or longer; and/or
* Objective is to help accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

== How does the news impact the investment thesis of the company? ==
Assuming that the average selling price of the vehicles is unchanged from the last reported price ($ccc on ccc), then the estimated revenue generated in the quarter is $ccc and in the year is $ccc.
The annual figure compares to the Stockhub consensus forecast of $ccc, a difference of $ccc in absolute terms and ccc% in relative terms. The figure also compares to the company's revenue amount in the previous year of $ccc, a difference of $ccc in absolute terms and ccc% in relative terms. To reflect the difference, we adjust our company revenue standard deviation assumption by ccc years to ccc years (from ccc years). All other assumptions are unchanged.
The adjustment results in a ccc% change to the target price, increasing the price to $ccc (from $ccc).
Accordingly, based on the assumptions provided on the Stockkhub platform, the investment remains a 'suitable' one for you if, among other criteria, your required:
* Return level is 39% per year or less in absolute terms;
* Risk level is 42% or more above the market risk level;
* Time horizon is five years or longer; and/or
* Objective is to help accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

|What's the estimated standard deviation of company revenue?
|6 years
|6 years
|Another way of asking this question is this way: within how many years either side of the mean does 68% of revenue occur? Based on Tesla's current revenue amount (i.e. $54 billion) and Tesla's estimated lifespan (i.e. 60 years) and Tesla's estimated current stage of its lifecycle (i.e. growth stage), the Stockhub users suggest using 6 years (i.e. 68% of all sales happen within 6 years either side of the mean year), so that's what's used here.

|Here, the total addressable market (TAM) is defined as the global automotive market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $2.975 trillion.
 
 
If the TAM is defined as the global energy market, then research suggests that the estimated size of the market is $6.777 trillion.<ref name=":16">https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/sustainable/sites/bartlett/files/an_exploration_of_energy_cost_ranges_limits_and_adjustment_process.pdf</ref>

|How many main stages of growth is the company expected to go through?
|4 stages
|4 stages
|Research suggests that a company typically goes through four distinct stages of cash flow growth.<ref>Levie J, Lichtenstein BB (2010) A terminal assessment of stages theory: Introducing a dynamic approach to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice 34(2): 317–350. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1540-6520.2010.00377.x</nowiki></ref> Research also shows that incorporating those stages into the discounted cash flow model improves the quality of the model and, ultimately, the quality of the value estimation.<ref>Stef Hinfelaar et al.:, 2019.</ref>
In addition, research shows that a key way to determine the stage which a company is in is by examining the cash flow patterns of the company.<ref>Dickinson, 2010.</ref> A summary of the economic links to cash flow patterns can be found in the appendix of this report. The Stockhub users estimate that with Tesla's operating cash flows positive (+), investing cash flows negative (-) and its financing cash flows positive (+), the company is in the second stage of growth (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth. Note, to account for one-off events, the three-year average (median) amount was used to calculate the cash flows.


On 7th February 2022, Tesla said it currently expects: to continue to generate net positive operating cash flow as it has done in the last four fiscal years; its capital expenditures to be between $5.00 to $7.00 billion in 2022 and each of the next two fiscal years; and its ability to be self-funding to continue as long as macroeconomic factors support current trends in its sales. Accordingly, based on forward looking statements, it appears that the company is in stage two of the business lifecycle  (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth remaining.

|-
| Which valuation model do you want to use?
|Discounted cash flow
| There are two main approaches to estimate the value of an investment:
# By calculating the present value of the investment's expected future cash flows (i.e. discounted cash flow valuation); and
#By comparing the investment to other similar investments (i.e. relative valuation).
Research suggests that in terms of estimating the expected return of an investment over a period of 12-months or more, the approach that is more accurate is the discounted cash flow approach<ref name=":5">Demirakos et al., 2010; Gleason et al., 2013</ref>, so that's the approach that he Stockhub users suggest to use here; nevertheless, for completeness purposes, separately, the valuation of the company is also estimated using the using the relative valuation approach (the valuation based on the relative approach can be found in the appendix of this report). 
Tesla has never paid cash dividends, and on 7th February 2022, it said that it currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Stockhub users suggest using the free cash flow valuation method (rather than the dividend discount model).
|-
|Which financial forecasts to use?
| Stockhub
|The only available long-term forecasts (i.e. >15 years) are the ones that are supplied by the Stockhub users (the forecasts can be found in the financials section of this report), so the Stockhub users suggest using those.

|-
|Discount rate (%)
| 15%
|There are two key risk parameters for a firm that need to be estimated: its cost of equity and its cost of debt. A key way to estimate the cost of equity is by looking at the beta (or betas) of the company in question, the cost of debt from a measure of default risk (an actual or synthetic rating) and apply the market value weights for debt and equity to come up with the cost of capital.

|As at 5th June 2022, the current value of the Tesla company is $950.54 billion.
|-
|Which time period do you want to use to estimate the expected return?
| Between now and five years time
|Research suggests that following a market crash, the average amount of time it takes for the price of a stock market to return to its pre-crash level (i.e. the recovery period) is at least three years.<ref>https://www.newyorkfed.org/mediabrary/media/medialibrary/media/research/staff_reports/research_papers/9809.pdf</ref> Accordingly, Stockhub suggests that to account for general market cyclicity, it's best to estimate the expected return of the company between now and five years time.

If the TAM is defined as the global energy market, then research suggests that the estimated size of the market is $6.777 trillion.<ref name=":16">https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/sustainable/sites/bartlett/files/an_exploration_of_energy_cost_ranges_limits_and_adjustment_process.pdf</ref>

|Another way of asking this question is this way: within how many years either side of the mean does 68% of revenue occur? Based on Tesla's current revenue amount (i.e. $54 billion) and Tesla's estimated lifespan (i.e. 60 years) and Tesla's estimated current stage of its lifecycle (i.e. growth stage), the Stockhub users suggest using 6 years (i.e. 68% of all sales happen within 6 years either side of the mean year), so that's what's used here.

|How many main stages of growth is the company expected to go through?
|4 stages
|4 stages
|Research suggests that a company typically goes through four distinct stages of cash flow growth.<ref>Levie J, Lichtenstein BB (2010) A terminal assessment of stages theory: Introducing a dynamic approach to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice 34(2): 317–350. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1540-6520.2010.00377.x</nowiki></ref> Research also shows that incorporating those stages into the discounted cash flow model improves the quality of the model and, ultimately, the quality of the value estimation.<ref>Stef Hinfelaar et al.:, 2019.</ref>
In addition, research shows that a key way to determine the stage which a company is in is by examining the cash flow patterns of the company.<ref>Dickinson, 2010.</ref> A summary of the economic links to cash flow patterns can be found in the appendix of this report. The Stockhub users estimate that with Tesla's operating cash flows positive (+), investing cash flows negative (-) and its financing cash flows positive (+), the company is in the second stage of growth (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth. Note, to account for one-off events, the three-year average (median) amount was used to calculate the cash flows.
On 7th February 2022, Tesla said it currently expects: to continue to generate net positive operating cash flow as it has done in the last four fiscal years; its capital expenditures to be between $5.00 to $7.00 billion in 2022 and each of the next two fiscal years; and its ability to be self-funding to continue as long as macroeconomic factors support current trends in its sales. Accordingly, based on forward looking statements, it appears that the company is in stage two of the business lifecycle  (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth remaining.

On 24th January 2024, Tesla announced its fourth quarter results, covering the period ended 31st December 2023. The key highlight of the results is that the total number of vehicles delivered in the year increased by 38% to 1,808,581 (from $ccc). No information on the average selling price of the vehicles has been provided in the announcement.

Assuming that the average selling price of the vehicles is unchanged from the last reported price ($ccc on ccc), then the estimated revenue generated in the year is $ccc. The figure compares to the Stockhub consensus forecast of $ccc, a difference of $ccc in absolute terms and ccc% in relative terms. To reflect the difference, we adjust our company revenue standard deviation assumption by ccc years to ccc years (from ccc years). All other assumptions are unchanged. The adjustment results in a ccc% change to the target price, increasing the price to $ccc (from $ccc).

Accordingly, based on the assumptions provided on the Stockhub platform, the investment remains a 'suitable' one for you if, among other criteria, your required:

  • Return level is 39% per year or less in absolute terms;
  • Risk level is 42% or more above the market risk level;
  • Time horizon is five years or longer; and/or
  • Objective is to help accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

What's the news?Edit

On 24th January 2024, Tesla announced its fourth quarter results, covering the period ended 31st December 2023.

The key highlight of the results is that the total number of vehicles delivered in the year increased by 38% to 1,808,581 (from $ccc). Other key highlights can be found in the table below.

No details about the sales price is provided in the announcement.

Summary
Q4 2023 FY2023
Actual Change (%) Actual Change (%)

Total Production 494,989 1,845,985 35%
Deliveries 484,507 1,808,581 38%
Subject to operating lease accounting 2%

How does the news impact the investment thesis of the company?Edit

Assuming that the average selling price of the vehicles is unchanged from the last reported price ($ccc on ccc), then the estimated revenue generated in the quarter is $ccc and in the year is $ccc.

The annual figure compares to the Stockhub consensus forecast of $ccc, a difference of $ccc in absolute terms and ccc% in relative terms. The figure also compares to the company's revenue amount in the previous year of $ccc, a difference of $ccc in absolute terms and ccc% in relative terms. To reflect the difference, we adjust our company revenue standard deviation assumption by ccc years to ccc years (from ccc years). All other assumptions are unchanged.

The adjustment results in a ccc% change to the target price, increasing the price to $ccc (from $ccc).

Accordingly, based on the assumptions provided on the Stockkhub platform, the investment remains a 'suitable' one for you if, among other criteria, your required:

  • Return level is 39% per year or less in absolute terms;
  • Risk level is 42% or more above the market risk level;
  • Time horizon is five years or longer; and/or
  • Objective is to help accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.

Revenue
What's the estimated standard deviation of company revenue? 6 years 6 years Another way of asking this question is this way: within how many years either side of the mean does 68% of revenue occur? Based on Tesla's current revenue amount (i.e. $54 billion) and Tesla's estimated lifespan (i.e. 60 years) and Tesla's estimated current stage of its lifecycle (i.e. growth stage), the Stockhub users suggest using 6 years (i.e. 68% of all sales happen within 6 years either side of the mean year), so that's what's used here.

Growth stage 2
Discount rate (%) 15% 15% There are two key risk parameters for a firm that need to be estimated: its cost of equity and its cost of debt. A key way to estimate the cost of equity is by looking at the beta (or betas) of the company in question, the cost of debt from a measure of default risk (an actual or synthetic rating) and apply the market value weights for debt and equity to come up with the cost of capital.
Probability of success (%) 90% 90% Research suggests that a suitable rate for a company in this growth stage (i.e. stage 2) is 90%.
Other key inputs
What's the current value of the company? $950.54 billion $950.54 billion As at 5th June 2022, the current value of the Tesla company is $950.54 billion.
